Taste & See: All About God’s Goodness (Irene Sun)

Taste & See

All About God’s Goodness

Children love food, and this beautiful book will help them see God’s goodness and love in the food he provides for his children all through the Bible.  

From fruit trees in the garden, manna in the wilderness, and bread and fish by the sea of Galilee, to the final, wonderful banquet spread in heaven, children and parents will learn to “taste and see that the Lord is good.” Parents are equipped by the resource page at the end to go deeper into these truths and will learn biblical theology along the way. 

Irene Sun and illustrator Hannah Y. Lu provide a bird’s eye view of the Bible, using the idea of hunger and feasting to tell the story of redemption in a fresh and memorable way for children and their parents. Children will learn that everything their hearts hunger for can be found in Jesus—the one whose broken body and shed blood is pictured in the bread and wine we eat together to celebrate Christ’s death and resurrection. Each meal we share until Jesus comes is a time to remember God’s goodness and care for all his children. Families will learn how the whole Bible celebrates God’s love for his hungry people.   

Endorsements

“This delightful book offers tantalizing visual and theological glimpses of the way God mercifully feeds his people—ultimately in Jesus Christ, the Bread of Life. It will send us back into the Scriptures to fill out the story and to share it with the young ones around us!”
Kathleen Nielson, author of numerous Bible study books for women

“Food is a delight to our senses. We see it. We smell it. We taste it. We enjoy it. It’s a God-given gift that demonstrates his goodness, mercy, and love throughout the pages of Scripture. Irene Sun’s new book, Taste and See: All about God’s Goodness, invites children to understand a biblical theology about food and how it points us to Jesus. Filled with beautiful illustrations, this book will delight the senses as it teaches timeless truths.”
Melissa Kruger, author of Growing Together and Walking with God in the Season of Motherhood
